Abstract
Today the world is facing one of the biggest crisis, due to a new beta-corona virus emerged from Wuhan in China, on December 2019. WHO declared ‘acute respiratory syndrome COVID-19 (SARS Co-2)’as a pandemic on March 12, 2020. Corona viruses are enveloped positive single stranded RNA viruses, causing severe acute respiratory syndrome in the infected individuals. The risk of getting infected by covid-19 is similar in all the individuals across the nation. But the outcome of the infection varies from one individual to another, depending on the comorbidities present in them. The most vulnerable group of patients in respect to severity of outcome of the infection are the once with unbalanced heath conditions like age (>65 years), immune-compromised, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, increased insulin resistance, cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney disease, chronic liver disease, vasculitis(vascular inflammation)and obesity. It is now a public knowledge that diabetes and obesity are a risk factor for any individual as these conditions can exacerbate the manifestations of COVID-19 infections thus increasing the severity of the condition, that may require hospitalization of the patient, later may even require intensive care unit or/and mechanical ventilation, with increased risk of mortality rates. In diabetic patients it is mainly due to failure in controlling the glucose levels and the risk of ketoacidosis. In patients with obesity lipid peroxidase creates reactive lipid aldehydes leading to poor prognosis.
Highlights
The spread of COVID-19is still a nightmare for many of the governments and health associated faculties as it is spreading like the fire across the world, and the vaccine is yet to be formulated [1].The number of confirmed cases around the world on 11 January 2021 was 90,879,255 and in India were 10,473,696 [2].With a high prevalence of diabetes and obesity in the population of our nation, it is important to have the knowledge of how COVID-19 is effecting the individuals associated with these conditions
In the ninth addition of International diabetes foundation, the given estimation is that just over 134 million Indians will be diabetic in the 25years [3]
Of age ≥75 years body mass index (BMI) more than or equal to 30 heart failure. Knowing about these risk factors associations has become more important, as the people of our country have a high ratio of diabetic and obese individual and many are unaware of the fact that it could be a very is serious comorbid condition for COVID-19 and predisposing factor for many other complication
Summary
The spread of COVID-19is still a nightmare for many of the governments and health associated faculties as it is spreading like the fire across the world, and the vaccine is yet to be formulated [1]. The High risk Category for severe complications due to COVID-19 infection: of age ≥75 years body mass index (BMI) more than or equal to 30 heart failure Knowing about these risk factors associations has become more important, as the people of our country have a high ratio of diabetic and obese individual and many are unaware of the fact that it could be a very is serious comorbid condition for COVID-19 and predisposing factor for many other complication. As of ratio of number of people getting infected by COVID-19 to the number of beds available for admissions in the hospitals all over the nation is very less this makes it more important to educate ourselves about the vulnerability we are living in [5]
